We enjoyed staying at this property, although cleanliness could have been better. For example, we noticed the extra blanket given had stains all over it which was pretty gross as it was obvious that it had not been washed for some time. The location was great and it had everything we needed but thought attention to detail could be better. The rooftop was great too.

A very average downtown hotel. The bar was closed, the coffee shop not functioning, there is no on site parking. Air conditioning barely worked and corridors etc dowdy at best.

I specifically contacted the property to ask if I can pay with cash on check in. I was told this would be ok (there is a surcharge for credit card payments) but when I arrived the hotel refused unless I had exact change. I had to go and find change at a nearby restaurant. There is a bar and restaurant in the same building and there are a lot of random people using the lifts at all hours. Not safe.

We have stayed at The Muse Christchurch, Art Hotel twice in the last 6 weeks. On both occasions we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We like this hotel as its in a perfect location to be able to walk into town, our room was nice and clean and the premises was quiet at night. Having a rooftop bar is a bonus!

A good position for shopping . However , after staying at this hotel twice before I kept hoping that the shabby appearance of the Hotel would have improved with my next visit. Sadly, no..

Nice rooms, and good location to the main shopping street. My only complaint was the breakfast was very basic, we only had it one day out of the three we stayed, and instead bought food elsewhere the other days.

Very small room with no space for bags and too cluttered with unnecessary furniture. Extremely noisy bathroom extractor fan that didn't turn off at all. Air con that was impossible to control. No onsite parking - even when advertised as a property with parking we had to park in an open parking lot two blocks away at a cost.

Boutique hotel which had more room than some boutique hotels we’ve been in. It was very clean and the concrete walls made it super quiet. It was fun to have the rooftop bar, fun staff there and great views. Excellent location to walk to the Riverside area for shops and food. Close to botanic gardens also. Continental breakfast was good. The front desk staff was not friendly nor informative.

The staff went above being great hosts. They let us in at 1:30am without complaining (due to a delayed flight.) They got a plumber in asap when our water flow was reduced in our room and are kind and respectful.

Very enjoyable stay. Good location near Cashel St and bus interchange. Comfortable room, warm, fast wifi and nice beds with good decor. Only minor thing was low water pressure in shower. Very nice continental breakfast available.

Great location. Lovely room and bathroom that looks to have been recently refurbished. Great views. Manager and his team were friendly and helpful. Old carpet in public areas is about to be replaced too which will be nice. Complimentary continental breakfast was simple but nice. Maybe a few extra options would be good. Even a microwave to heat the croissant perhaps. Only a minor thing as the positivs heavily outweigh the negatives.

Old Lift broke down, not surprising and wasn’t fixed during stay. Room was dusty in most places which aren’t the focal point. Basic breakfast. Poor housekeeping, didn’t do the bare minimum. Key card expired after a few days so had to walk the five flights of stairs to get it refreshed. Main carpets are stained on each floor. No real care about how guests stay was just if you had paid. Only one good worker there. Started with a few things that could be overlooked but quickly amounted to a disappointing stay. Spend the $50 or so extra dollars and stay somewhere nicer because it’s not worth it.

The hotel room was fine, everything we needed was there, the bedding was comfortable and the room it self was very clean. Parking on site is a major problem, they currently only have space for a few cars, this could be due to construction. The common areas of the hotel especially the halls need to be updated, the pink carpets are very stained. Staff was welcoming and very friendly.

The Muse is a really conveniently located CBD hotel. The room was OK however the bathroom floor was quite dirty and left dark marks on my socks. The carpet in the communal areas is absolutely filthy with stains everywhere. For $230 a night I expected a cleaner presentation.
